1.8 trillion dollar COVID relief bill before the Senate, regardless what trump said he wanted.
I suspect it was an attempt to cast the Democrats, and Pelosi specifically in a "bad light", not willing to "work with the republicans"
Many in the press fell for it, Andrew Yang and others fell for it. It should be more than clear by now, this isn't about the Democrats not willing to compromise, but rather the republicans constantly going back on their word, and not being trustworthy
The only bill McConnell will bring before the Senate, is a drastically reduced bill that will effectively help very few, and not bring money to the healthcare workers for resources to combat what appears to be the surge in COVID cases cropping up, and helping those who are still out of work unable to make rent, mortgage, or food for their families
Hopefully we will win the election, and both houses of Congress, but even with that, if the past behavior or the republicans is any prediction of their future behavior, it is very doubtful that they will be willing to sign on to a stimulus in the two months before the new president takes over, out of spite if nothing else, and hoping that the lack of a stimulus will push us into a depression, which they will "blame on the Democrats"

So surprised a National Lawyer Group has not filed for Class Action against the White House as well as HHS and CDC yet.

(11,884 posts)Getting to small businesses, and the American people. Knowing it was hurting Americans and our country. I don't see why anyone would be voting for people like that to be in OUR government. They'll destroy Social Security and Medicare, and all health care . McConnell needs to be looked into for ties to foreign countries, he's a crook.
